    A thing of exquisite beauty. Jerry, you are a true craftsman. I wish, 1, I could afford for you to build me a guitar and 2, I was in the United States so this was more of a reality! Thank you for your videos and the joy and company they bring.

    Another masterpiece from RSW. I love watching Jerry build guitars; it’s amazing how he takes wood that I could easily buy myself, and then transform that wood into art (that part I cannot do!). Building people’s dreams...one fretboard at a time. Congratulations and thank you.

    I've been sanding things since I was a kid building model cars and one thing I've learned about sanding is that there are times to use a power tool, times to use a block and times when sanding with just your fingers and the sandpaper is the best.
    In fact, I recently did some bodywork on the wife's car and most of the areas were on compound curves so almost all of the finish sanding was fingers and sandpaper, just like you said.

    Hey Jerry, that is really a work of art. You are a true artisan. The sound is awesome, intonation is everything. I can't wait to play it in person. I am sorry I had to postpone. I can explain when I see you. In the meantime, do something to the case to personalize it with RSW. No way Martin should get the credit. No way. If it costs, I'll pay.

  • @damo690
    @damo690 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had the same problem finishing an eletric guitar with an ash top before. It's frustrating to say the least. I was told that I should have filled the grain with grain filler and that it may need to be done several times before trying to put the finish on. It's quite difficult stuff to sand off but don't be tempted to use a rough grit paper. It's a long labourous process but it works.

    Fantastic piece of art ! Outstanding finish and the ringing of that sound is just second to none. Makes me a little bit nervous thinking about the future owner being a pilot. Hope he resists the temptation to bring it along with him on his travels to entertain himself in the between flight stops. Repeatedly air traveling is tolling hard on any acoustic string instrument. Can't seem to find the vids you mentioned where we get to enjoy this beauty mix in with the band ?
